Ric Flair's last match undergoes a major change
The venue of WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair's final match has changed, with additional tickets available for purchase on Friday.
Shocking the world, the 73-year-old announced that he would have one final match on July 31. Since then, more details about the event have been revealed as Flair trained with AEW star Jay Lethal. As the date got closer, a positive update was issued by The Nature Boy himself.
Initially, the match was scheduled at the Nashville Fairgrounds. However, with tickets being sold out in 24 hours, Flair has announced that the event will now be held at the Nashville Municipal Auditorium.
"My Last Match Is Getting Even Bigger & Better! We’re Moving To The Nashville Municipal Auditorium! Additional Tickets Go On Sale FRIDAY, June 24th At 12pm ET! Sign Up To Stay Up To Date On All Of The Information At http://RicFlairsLastMatch.com! WOOOOO! @StarrcastEvents," Flair tweeted.
